The Chinese Are Acquiring Large Chunks Of Land In Communities All Over America

AmericanDreamHas the United States ever experienced a time when a foreign nation
has attempted to buy up so much of our land all at once?As you will
read about in this article, the Chinese are on a real estate buying
spree all over America. In fact, in some cases large chunks of land are
actually being given to them. Yes, you read that correctly. China is
on the way to becoming the dominant land owner in the entire country,
and that is starting to alarm a lot of people. Do we really want a
foreign superpower to physically own so much of our territory?There are some that are playing down this threat by making a
distinction between the Chinese government and Chinese corporations, but
things work differently over in China than they do here. In China, the
government is involved in everything. In fact, 43 percent
of all corporate profits in China are produced by companies that the
Chinese government controls. And all of the rest of the companies are
very careful to follow the lead and direction of the Chinese government.That is why what is going on in places such as Thomasville, Alabama
is so alarming. Small communities such as Thomasville are so starved
for jobs that they are willing to give land away for free to Chinese companies in order to entice them to build factories…

Gov. Robert Bentley said Friday that he will announce an economic development project in Thomasville, Ala., Monday morning.That project is likely a copper tube plant to be built by Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group. A legal notice published Thursday indicates that the city of Thomasville and others intend to give land and other incentives to GD Copper USA, which state corporation records identify as a Florida-based subsidiary of Golden Dragon.

And in this particular case, we are not just talking about a small
plot of land. We are talking about a 40 acre chunk of land worth 1.5
million dollars…

The legal notice indicated the city plans to give Golden Dragon a 40-acre site.
Thomasville Mayor Sheldon Day has said that land is in a city
industrial park south of Thomasville High School. It includes a $1.5
million, 50,000-square-foot building that the city constructed in 2009
to attract businesses.

But in most cases, the Chinese actually have to spend money to acquire our real estate. And they are starting to make some really high profile acquisitions in some of our most expensive cities…

In other cases, the Chinese are gaining control over vast tracts of U.S. territory by buying up our large corporations.For example, when the Chinese purchased Smithfield Foods, they suddenly owned 460 large farms and became the top employer in dozens of communities all over the United States…

Smithfield Foods is the largest pork producer and
processor in the world. It has facilities in 26 U.S. states and it
employs tens of thousands of Americans. It directly owns 460 farms and
has contracts with approximately 2,100 others. But now a Chinese
company has bought it for $4.7 billion, and that means that the Chinese will now be the most important employer in dozens of rural communities all over America.

And the Chinese seem to have a particular interest in
economically-depressed areas of the country. Perhaps they feel that now
is the time to gobble up companies and properties in such areas for
bargain-basement prices. For instance, the following is from a CNBC article that detailed how the Chinese are aggressively “putting down roots in Detroit”…

Dozens of companies from China are putting down roots in
Detroit, part of the country’s steady push into the American auto
industry.Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new
vehicle technology, selling everything from seat belts to shock
absorbers in retail stores, and hiring experienced engineers and
designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic
automakers and their suppliers.

Speaking of Michigan, one company known as “Sino-Michigan Properties
LLC” actually had plans to buy up 200 acres of land near the town of
Milan, Michigan. The goal was to build an entire “China City” with artificial lakes, a Chinese cultural center and hundreds of housing units for Chinese citizens.But that is nothing compared to the “China City” that was being planned for New York state. The following is a short excerpt from one of my previous articles…

The Chinese have made trillions of dollars flooding our
shores with super cheap products, and now they are using some of that
money to buy land and property all over America. For example, there is
now a proposal to construct a multibillion dollar “China City” that
would span approximately 600 acres in a remote area of New York state.
This “China City” (that is actually what it would be called) would be
located on Yankee Lake in Sullivan County, New York. The plans
anticipate large numbers of Chinese businesses, plenty of homes for
Chinese immigrants, a Chinese high school, a college, a casino and even a
theme park. And the first 600 acres is only for “phase one” of the
plan. Ultimately, the goal is for “China City” to cover more than 2,000
acres. Those promoting this plan say that it will be a great way for
New Yorkers to learn to appreciate Chinese culture.

But of much greater concern is the huge wave of real estate purchases that are quietly happening all around us every single day.The following is from a recent CNBC article entitled “Chinese buying up California housing“…

At a brand new housing development in Irvine, Calif.,
some of America’s largest home builders are back at work after a
crippling housing crash. Lennar, Pulte, K Hovnanian, Ryland to name a
few. It’s a rebirth for U.S. construction, but the customers are largely Chinese.“They see the market here still has room for appreciation,” said
Irvine-area real estate agent Kinney Yong, of RE/MAX Premier Realty.
“What’s driving them over here is that they have this cash, and they
want to park it somewhere or invest somewhere.”

So what happens when we get to the point when the Chinese government
and/or Chinese citizens own 10 percent of all the real estate in the
entire country?Will it be a problem then?What about if we get to 20 percent or 30 percent?At what point will we be forced to admit that we have a major problem on our hands?Many of our leaders seem resigned to the fact that the future will be dominated by communist China.For example, the President of the St. Louis Federal Reserve recently
stated that “attitudes in the U.S. are going to have to change” because
America “will not permanently be the global leader”…

That’s according to Federal Reserve Board of St. Louis
President James Bullard, who spoke to the Wall Street Journal on the
sidelines of a conference during a recent visit to Hong Kong.“Attitudes in the U.S. are going to have to change, because the U.S. will not permanently be the global leader,” Mr. Bullard said.

In fact, Bullard insists that it is inevitable that the U.S. will end up playing second fiddle to communist China…

In that case, “the U.S. would be playing a role to China similar to the role the U.K. plays to the U.S. today,” Mr. Bullard said. “People think it’s 50-75 years away but it’s probably only 25 or 20 years away, something like that.”

And this is one of the guys that is running the U.S. economy?There is more than one way to dominate your enemy, and the Chinese understand this.Sadly, most Americans have absolutely no idea what is happening.What about you?What do you think about all this?
